The answer to 5 feet 1 inch minus 8 feet 4 inches (5' 1" - 8' 4") is displayed below:
- 3 feet 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 1 inch minus 8 feet 4 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
5 feet 1 inch = 61 inches
8 feet 4 inches = 100 inches
Then, we deducted 100 inches from 61 inches to get the total number of inches:
61 - 100 = -39 inches.
Finally, we converted -39 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 1" - 8' 4" = - 3' 3"
Note: There are 12 inches in a foot. Thus, you multiply feet by 12 to get only inches, and
to make it back to feet and inches we divided the total number of inches by 12.
